A cozy story of the lobstermen of Big Sawyer island, their work and their problems with weather and other encroachers. Noah, a divorced lobsterman, and Julia, a New York visitor to the island, are rescued from a boat accident when a boater runs into their ferry to the island. While she helps her aunt Zoe with Zoe's angora rabbits, Julia realized their past is entwined, and the island becomes her place of refuge from her wandering husband. A wonderful love story and great info about a lobsterman's life as well as powerful drama about raising a son and daughter in a broken family and livng through tragedy.
